Race 2. (13:25) Tab Maiden Handicap (1250m)

If trial form is anything to go by, Maggie Miss should be making a winning debut here.

The three-year-old filly has won two trials to date, which included a stunning 12.8-length win at Randwick last month. That was a great warm-up for this run and we’re surprised bookmakers haven’t opened her shorter in the market.

Take the $2.25 as it won’t last long.

Race 3. (14:00) Everest Carnival BM66 (1100m)

There’s no doubting that Gentle Persuasion should have won last start but punters get another chance to cash in here. The three-year-old finished a head behind the winner last start and she’s going to get a better trip in transit here.

James McDonald rides from barrier two and that should give the filly every chance in running. Expect her to settle closer to the pace and have a superior turn-of-foot.

$2.80 is a good price in the small field and she could start odds-on with bookmakers.

Race 1. (13:00) Jayco Maiden Plate (1300m)

Lindsay Park lines up the three-year-old which brings in good form lines to this midweek event. The talented colt finished second behind Graff on debut and that form could be franked at Group 1 level in the Golden Rose.

He then finished 1.3 lengths behind Pembroke Castle at Warwick Farm and although his recent trial wasn’t impressive, he wasn’t asked to do much.

It’s an interesting decision to bring him back to Victoria but the stakes-grade ambitions might have put on the backburner and this is a much easier target.

Race 4. (14:45) Mawsons BM64 (1600m)

Money is coming thick and fast for Merchant Of Venice, which scored an easy 2.3-length win on debut at Cranbourne.

The Jason Warren-trained son of So You Think is bred to enjoy the longer distances so rising from 1300m to the mile isn’t going to worry him. He scored on debut despite running wide throughout and if he gets some cover in this race, he could make easy work of it again.
